A leading figure in Glasgow's new Masorti congregation has been relieved of his role as burial officer by the Glasgow Hebrew Burial Society (GHBS).

Warren Bader was informed by letter that his services were no longer required because of a "change of circumstance".

Mr Bader, who did not have a contract, had worked for the society for almost two years. He said it had been "a great privilege to serve the community in this way - it was just so fulfilling." He would not comment further on legal grounds.

He will continue to work for two other local burial societies, Garnethill and Cathcart. A Garnethill spokesperson said Mr Bader had "handled his brief with skill and feeling and he's very popular. His contract is up for review in April and we don't see any reason not to renew it."
